From the "Dumb Question" thread I suddenly thought of yet another question about branding to ask.
Is it mandatory that a breeding herd be branded? I know it differs from state to state and province to province, but since I'm asking exclusively those who have cows and raise calves up to either weaning stage or yearling, depending on the operation in itself, do you think that branding should be or is mandatory? Or is it only for those with large 50++ cow herds or those who send their animals on community pasture or, better yet, rents land to graze some of his/her cows with some other from another place?
I hope my question makes sense, because the why's of branding gets my curiousity as well.
